Here we are, 4 years of Medical School, 5 years of General Surgery, and a 1 year Fellowship later, in a sense, we've made it...or have we? As of today, we have barely over 3 months and no plan.

Are we going to move? How do you even begin to start looking for places when you have no plan?! What I mean by no plan is, we've interviewed, we've spoken to recruiters, we've even gotten the, "you're definitely going to be a great fit, we'll send you the paperwork." Technically, if the contract hasn't been signed, you don't have a job.

Don't get me wrong, I'm totally hoping a contract comes through with with place! It just seems to me that after 6 weeks, there would have been something more than just a handshake...don't you think?
